People are not perfect...

My prayer:

Trust is such a fragile thing God. I am old enough to know that the only one I can really trust is you, but it still surprises and hurts me when I find out someone has lied to me. I am going to need your help on this. I am not sure what to do. All I know is that I don't want it to grow into bitterness because that doesn't help anyone. Guide me God.

What God Said Tonight:

People are never perfect. Even before the original sin, I did not make people to be perfect. Perfect is predictable and perfect never changes. 

I built people with free will, the ability to make choices and decisions. It was the only way for me to have relationships with people instead of just slaves. I love this aspect of people but it is the one that also causes the most trouble. It is the one that caused the original sin and nearly every sin since that time. 

I sent my son to cover all of the people and their bad choices because I knew I could not stop them from making them. Not only could I not stop them but they could not stop themselves. 

Show mercy. Show grace. Knowing that you will need the same some day. 

I love you, despite your bad choices. Love my people despite theirs.
